The golden rule is, just don’t change it. The maintainers are the biggest threat, just pacify them. Like you say, take the humans out. Any change to the ruleset is an attack on #bitcoin. And it’s not an app, so the whole thing on security upgrades is a red herring. It’s a ruleset visible to all. No changes required. V25 is maybe the optimal. If everyone runs that or below, everything’s fine. #Bip110 is necessary to undo the malware. After that, just leave the code alone.

1- knots is supporting Bitcoin as money. That’s the biggest difference. Andy back even states in interviews that bitcoin is a “store of value” and an asset. He never uses it as a medium of exchange and doesn’t ever mention it being one. The ethos of Knots is to reserve Bitcoin as peer to peer cash like Satoshi intended. Plus it was never funded through cutouts by Epstein… unlike Core. And for those who dislike Luke… thats a non issue, because the BIP wasn’t written by Luke it was by Dathan Ohm and is much more conservative than Luke’s approach. 2- @Matthew Kratter has been making free educational videos for months and there’s a detailed website https:// www.bip110.org. Plus https:// thebitcoinportal.com has an extensive overview of the health of the network, plenty of reading and even monitoring of the BIP activation levels and probabilities as we move forward. And lastly… this is how decentralization works. You can’t just sit back and hope it remains secure. You need node runners and devs who actually care about the network to secure it. That doesn’t happen without humans who care about it as money. You need people who will lose everything if it gets centralized because they hold all their value in it. Those people are running knots and bip110. Core devs literally get paid in fiat and some aren’t even bitcoiners!

1. You are, by supporting a diverse ecosystem of multiple node implementations and not leaving Knots as the only option.
